Happy Monday, dear friends & supporters!
Do you know what I love? Looking at different neighborhood websites. Each of them is so different from the other. The really good ones reflect their respective neighborhoods so well. It’s like they breathe their communities.
Bushwick Daily, I hope you agree, is one of those sites. Created in Bushwick by Bushwick folks who live and love this neighborhood. I don’t think you need to be a millionaire or a major publication to do neighborhood journalism well. All you need is passion, dedication and support from your community.
We have been feeling just that at Bushwick Daily this past week. 70 of you pledged almost 15% of our crowd-funding goal, which is really humbling and beautiful. Thank you, guys, so much. We promise to make you really proud.
But the journey doesn’t end here, and in order to build Village we need to raise 100% of our goal.
Village, dear friends, is greater than just Bushwick or Bushwick Daily! Village will revolutionize hyperlocal journalism, and will allow grassroots websites like Bushwick Daily to be successful. Please do pledge today and share this article with your friends, and keep on supporting us, so that we can make Village happen.
